This talk will discuss important, cross-cutting materials science and materials chemistry challenges applicable to a range of electrochemical energy storage technologies. We will highlight the multiscale materials synthesis and characterization issues that will impact the device level performance and cost. Specifically, we will discuss 1) the critical problems for both grid scale and automotive storage, 2) the characterization and understanding of nanostructured materials under realistic and complex electrochemical operating conditions, 3) approaches to design and synthesize nanomaterials to overcome the materials limitations, and 4) emerging new technologies and new concepts to achieve ultralow cost operations.
